Question clearance problems with bosch injector clips and manifold

like the tittle state's im having an issue with the secondary injector clips touching the upper manifold, im running the KG sec fuel rail and im using the bosch clips that they sent with the rail..the prob lem is the clips are so big they don't allow you to turn the injector so the clip is acctualy under the rail so the clips and wires touch the manifold when you bolt it on..it works but i just dont like the long term idea of them having contact and dont wanna risk grounding out a wire..anybody else have this problem?

Spin the fuel injectors so the clips are on the "side".

I ran into the same problem, I was able to turn them so theyre not touching the intake manifold but I loaded them up with that high temp electrical tape just in case. I wish I had some pics. :/

thats what needs to be done but i cant do it cause the end of the clip where the wires come out hits the rail and they wont allow me to turn the injector
